Visited with some American relatives on their first trip to the UK who wanted to experience a pub. This was close to their hotel (Park Plaza Westminster), which is why we chose it. Ambience was great, not uber busy and they accommodated 9 of us without too much problem. The menu had enough choice to keep everyone happy but the bar couldn't provide all the cocktails on the menu and didn't have any regular coke in stock. The food wasn't bad. Fish and chips were a hit with a very picky niece and I enjoyed the roast dinner (pork and beef combo) but the chicken wings were awful and the pork stuffing balls were raw. These were not removed from the bill initially despite being complained about and we had to ask for them to be removed. The service was impeccable and the entire team and their manager were lovely, kind and so helpful. The customer service could not be faulted at all. I'm not sure the American relatives experienced the best pub grub London has to offer for their first visit to the UK but I'd happily go back and have their roast dinner again.

The serving staff were very helpful and friendly. Luckily, we had made a booking as a pre theatre meal, as it became quite busy. The didning area is separate, which is always a bonus and less noisy that the main bar. The food and service was excelelnt.

Service was great but it took an obscene amount of time to receive our food. 2 of our meals were ready at least 10 mins earlier than the last meal (we could see it sitting on the counter) and were lukewarm and a bit dried out by the time we got them.
